Japan (Resanaki country)

In the Resanaki campaign, which takes place in the Ryūkyū Kingdom, Japan is a neighboring island nation to the north.

Resanaki
During the events of Resanaki in the year 1476, Japan is currently in the Muromachi period which began around 1338 when the Muromachi shogunate was officially established. More specifically, Japan has since 1465 entered the Sengoku period, also known as the Warring States period. This time of civil war began with the Ōnin War which broke out in 1467 and is still ongoing during the events of Resanaki.

The Ōnin War began with a dispute between supporters of the shogun's brother or infant son about who is the rightful heir to the throne. By 1476, the war has ravaged the kingdom for almost a decade and is nearing its end. The respective leaders of both sides died in 1473, and the armies have been growing more and more exhausted since.

Characters from Japan
With Japan being such a close and powerful neighbor, it is no surprise that some Resanaki characters have Japanese origins.

 * Sassō Ishiguru, a player character who served as a field medic in Japan medic during the Ōnin War.
